From the get-go, I liked all of General Motors 1959 automobile line-up. The styling and the look was out there for sure. The Home Run of the pack (in my opinion) was the
1959 BUICK ELECTRA 225
The "Bat-Fins" in the rear and the "Slanted" headlights in the front, this car just said FUTURE! BUICK completely revamped its model line-up with NEW names. LeSabre, Invicta, Electra, and Electra 225, there was a car from BUICK for everyone.
This great article in CARS & PARTS magazine from Erick Kaminsky delivers all there is to know about the ELECTRA 225 CONVERTIBLE. If beauty on wheels exists, the '59 BUICK proved it.

The 59 Buick is my favorite GM design for 59.

I was never a big fan of the 1959 Buick (or the entire '59 GM lineup, for that matter) but I am coming around to appreciating and liking it. After all, it still features a revised version of the fabulous Fashion Aire Dynastar grill from the previous year's chrome-slathered Air Born B-58, my favorite Buick.
Just for you...
the AIR BORN B-58 BUICK

Never cared for the '59 GM line up, the Buick & Pontiac were not bad, but not good, although I do like the '60 Buick.
